For those afflicted with Eczema, Keratosis Pilaris, and Psoriasis, these soothing balms help to keep eczema and psoriasis at bay by using natural, gentle ingredients and also offer luxurious relief while healing the skin. It is excellent for all skin types and can be used anywhere on the body.
Eczema Keratosis Pilaris & Psoriasis Balm (with Helichrysum Essential Oil)is a complementary balm to the original version. As the skin may become complacent to any product used over time, this balm has been created to 'jump start' the skin back into self-healing. This is a more vital balm and vegetarian-friendly as well.
NOTE: Helichrysum Essential Oil is considered a potent healer, anti-inflammatory, and tissue repair stimulant. It is rapidly becoming a favorite as a cell regenerator and has been proven to reduce scar tissue formation! It is best known for its effect on bruises, wounds, and other injuries while also helping to reducing pain.
Method of Application Apply to affected area, plus a quarter of an inch around it. Apply at least two times a day, or as much as needed. For best results, try our Eczema, Keratosis Pilaris and Psoriasis Serum. It is very complimentary to this balm.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.

Eczema, Keratosis Pilaris and Psoriasis Balm w/Helichrysum Oil
My eczema flare got so bad at one point this year (2022) that I had ice packs on my skin and couldn't sleep. I did not want to try pharmaceutical treatments like steroid creams, so I did a bunch of research and found out what I needed to do internally to help heal my eczema as well as bought this balm, the serum, and the Neem Hydrosol. So, I started working on my internal health (diet triggers, missing nutrients, detox, supplement support), and began applying this balm, the serum, and the Neem Hydrosol that they recommend to help spread this balm around. And let me tell you, I had AMAZING results. About 5 minutes after applying these three things, the itch disappeared. About two weeks later, the rash was 90% gone (and this was after months of suffering). Now, anytime I feel or see a spot that's about to flare up or is flaring up, I immediately apply this balm and the serum and see a massive decrease in redness, size, and irritation within a couple days. I used the one without Emu Oil because I don't like the idea of an animal product on my skin. All of this isn't cheap, but it's worth it for the healing and relief. I'm really shocked because I never have good experiences with skin care products. Thanks, GOW, for finding all the right ingredients to help us eczema sufferers and for keeping it clean. I hope someday you can offer bigger sizes for the non-emu oil balm, and maybe even glass containers (to eliminate the plastic problem that this world has in general).
We're so glad you found these products! We can offer larger sizes of nearly any of our products. Just email us!
Thank you for the review!
